What you'll learn

Upon completing this course, you will:

  • create a basic app, make it render pages, and access it from the browser;
  • understand the difference between a monolithic application and an API and develop both of them;
  • configure settings of the application to make most of it;
  • connect and use databases to store your application's data;
  • integrate tools to facilitate working with HTML in your apps.

Learn by doing

# 1
Apply knowledge into practice
You already know the theory. Now it's time to code like you do at work—in a professional IDE, with real project constraints, solving problems that actually matter. Welcome to software engineering as it should be.
# 2
Navigate complexity with surgical precision
Most developers waste months learning random concepts without seeing how they connect. Our interactive Knowledge Map fixes this. It shows exactly how every programming concept relates to others, helping you build a structured mental model of coding.
# 3
Copy the best. Then improve.
Here's what top engineers do that others don't: they study other people's code obsessively. When you get stuck on Hyperskill, you can explore solutions published by other developers. See their exact code. Understand their approach. Learn their tricks.
# 4
Code review that actually makes you better
We stripped code review down to what actually matters: does your solution work? Have you handled the edge cases? Is there a cleaner way to write this? Hyperskill acts like a competent reviewer who actually tests your code. Not genius-level analysis, not architecture debates — just solid feedback on making your code better.

Elevate your engineering mastery through real-world challenges

Master advanced engineering concepts through ambitious projects. Each project deepens your expertise and transforms you from an experienced engineer into an exceptional one.
